thunderclan

i can't say "welcome to the thunderclan camp" because howlingstar wouldn't be so happy to find twolegs and stray kitties waltzing into the most hidden and protected camp, however i can tell you a bit about the layout of the place where thunderclan cats live. the camp itself is actually an abandoned twoleg quarry where twolegs used to mine for stone, however due to the obviously long period of inactivity, the place has become a near-perfect set-up for a clan camp, and despite being obviously twoleg-made, thunderclan has made the overgrown quarry its home. some may argue that this isn't as safe a camp as was the camp in the old forest territories, but thunderclan makes do with what it has.

the territory northeast of the lake is where the cats of thunderclan make their home. in almost every square meter of the territory, have tall deciduous trees create a protective roof over your head, and covering almost every square meter of ground is thick undergrowth which the cats of thunderclan use to their advantage in everyday life.

windclan

the windclan camp is simply a shallow scoop in the ground sheltered from the weather and unstoppable winds. while creating a cozy nest for the windclan cats to sleep in, it actually is quite open to the sky, making windclan feel right at home. you'll never feel claustrophobic here. the camp itself has very low protection, however during bad weather or an attack from a rival clan, the cats can retreat into deeper burrows made by rabbits, foxes and badgers.

in the southeastern area from the lake, the windclan territory is easily characterized by its endless rolling hills with no trees in sight. out in the open on the boundless moors, windclan cats are at home-free. the land is covered in tall grass, plentiful in rabbits. the wind and the tree-less moors are the heart and soul of windclan. the wind almost never ceases to blow. they share a northern border with thunderclan being the river leading to the moonpool, even though a strip of forest actually lies on windclan's side of the river.

riverclan

the riverclan camp is loved by riverclan cats for its lush trees and streams full of fish. the two rivers surrounding the triangle island consist of a main river joining a smaller one, and small stepping stones over the shallow part of the river are the only dry passageway into and from the camp.

southwest of the lake, the riverclan territory is characterized by lush trees of many types, especially willows, and streams swimming with plentiful fish. the land itself is mainly marshy and fertile, creating a haven for riverclan cats, and for no other clan, making nearly the whole of the territory easily defensible. to the north is a thunderpath creating the border with shadowclan, leading to an odd twoleg place where twolegs come during greenleaf to play on the halfbridge and in their water monsters. although they are to the west of windclan, they actually do not share a common border with each other, being divided by a thick border consisting of hazardous marsh, the horseplace, and the twoleg place right beside it.

shadowclan

the shadowclan camp lies in a dip in the land and is concealed by tangles of brambles and low-hanging branches. despite actually having little material protection, the camp is well hidden by the thick pine trees surrounding it, and the main entrance is through a thorn tunnel passing by a large boulder. due to the concealed layout of the camp, it is not difficult to defend as long as you're a shadowclan cat and are familiar with the layout of the camp itself. the clan's enemies will most likely find themselves victims to surprise attacks from any direction and every direction they least expected it, as is the shadowclan style.

northwest of the lake lies shadowclan's territory. very unlike their marsh territory back in the old forest, the territory by the lake is a dry land covered thickly by pine trees, creating a soft bed of pine needles covering nearly every square meter of land, the better for stalking without a sound.

outside the clans

the moonpool is a spring of water on neutral ground and can be accessed easily when following the river upstream that flows as the border between thunderclan and windclan. this sacred place is where medicine cats go to speak with and receive dreams from starclan, and where mentors go with their apprentices on their traditional journey.

while maps say this is technically riverclan territory as well, this is actually neutral territory where no clans go, because it is surrounded by fencing from within large creatures called horses stampede around. a few barn cats are known to live here two, but few clan cats see the need to come here, and take the risk to hunt as competitors for prey with the barn cats and dogs.

off of riverclan's territory and surrounded on all four sides by the vast lake that marks the lake territories is a small island with a few trees where the four clans go to hold their monthly gatherings. a log leads out from riverclan's shore to the island, creating a dry bridge straight to the island. in the center of the island is a clearing where trees with large branches can be found. the leaders sit upon these branches when addressing the clans.
